So, media processing apparatus 1 control multiple processing unit (MICR first 35, ink-jet printer respectively by control unit 70 Unit 44, surface C IS units 47 and back side CIS unit 48 and thermal head 65), according to the order sent from master computer 5, The printing functionality for be able to carry out the MICR functions to check 4, printing functionality, optically reading function and heat sensitive roller paper.It is situated between Multiple functions in the middle of these functions can either be continuously performed, it is also possible to be executed separately by matter processing unit 1.
Fig. 4 is the flow chart for representing the action that multiple treatment are consecutively carried out to 1 check 4.
In the action shown in the Fig. 4, MICR functions, printing functionality and optical reading function are performed as a sequence Row.The control unit 70 of media processing apparatus 1, since master computer 5 receive for indicate check 4 treatment order when (step S11), drives paper offset part drive motor 26 and ASF motor 27, and check 4 is passed out into carrying path W successively, Start the conveying (step S12) of check 4.Control unit 70 manages check 4 by monitoring the detected value of yardage detector 38 Position, while by MICR first 35, reading magnetic ink character string 4c (step S13) of check 4.Control unit 70 is based on MICR First 35 magnetic waveforms for reading differentiate whether the upper and lower and surface back side of check 4 is set properly (step S14), are based on The differentiation result, decision is that the discharge destination of check 4 is set into main groove 19a to be also set to secondary groove 19b, so as to drive cut Plate drive motor 55 is changed to switch over (step S15) switch boards 54.Specifically, control unit 70, set check 4 is determined as Put it is in the right direction in the case of, switch boards 54 are switched to main groove 19a sides, it is true in the poor direction for being determined as check 4 In the case of, switch boards 54 are switched to secondary groove 19b sides.
Then, control unit 70, based on the detected value of intermediate detector 46, monitor the position of check 4, while check 4 is conveyed, To specify that image is recorded at back side 4b (step S16) of check 4 by ink gun 10.Control unit 70, by surface C IS units 47 To scan the surface 4a of check 4, while scanning back side 4b (step S17) by back side CIS unit 48, view data will be read It is sent to master computer 5.And, in the case where check 4 is not set correctly, the read action of step S17 can be skipped. Control unit 70, whether check 4 is monitored by monitoring the detected value of discharge detector 52 by normally paper delivery, while driving defeated Check 4 is discharged to groove 19 (step S18) by power transmission motivation 42, terminates present treatment.And, the treatment of step S14, S15 can Carried out parallel with the treatment with step S16~S18.
Additionally, control unit 70, by performing the control program stored in flicker ROM, realizes wrong detection unit 70a (figures 3) function.Wrong detection unit 70a, via sensor drive driving circuit 75, the detection state based on each detector for being detected, To detect the wrong principal element of media processing apparatus 1, according to the content of wrong principal element, discriminate whether to there occurs mistake. In the case where differentiation there occurs wrong (exception), error detector 70a stops the molar behavior of media processing apparatus 1, by mistake Occur to notify to master computer 5 by mistake.
Main contents in the middle of the wrong principal element of wrong detection unit 70a detections are illustrated.Filled with media processes Put 1 overall relevant, for example, opening detector (diagram is omitted) and opening wide (lid detect lid 12 or printer cover 61 by covering Open), paper offset part 25 detected by paper offset part position detector 32 in original state be not returned to initial bit Put, as wrong principal element.As the mistake related to check 4, enumerate and do not propped up in gap 15 after reception is ordered Conveying blocking of the check 4 of ticket 4 etc..The blocking of check 4, for example, the conveying capacity based on check 4 is more than regulation yardage Detector 38 does not detect the front end or rear end of check 4, relative conveying capacity but by intermediate detector 46 or discharge detection The event that the timing of the front end or rear end of the detection check 4 of device 52 occurs to postpone etc. is detected.
Additionally, as the wrong principal element related to inkjet printer unit 44, enumerate the disconnected ink of print cartridge 45, for storing Deposit the capacity excess of the exhausted bath box of the ink discharged by the cleaning or flushing of ink gun 10, the nozzle check by ink gun 10 To detect bad nozzle, temperature anomaly of ink gun 10 more than benchmark etc..
As the wrong principal element related to other processing units, for example, enumerate the temperature anomaly of thermal head 65, by table The reading view data of face CIS unit 47 and back side CIS unit 48 stores buffer mistake, the roller paper when in memory 77 Disconnected paper of receiving portion 62 etc..
In the middle of these wrong principal elements, for disconnected ink, the temperature anomaly of ink gun 10, the appearance of exhausted bath box of print cartridge 45 Amount excess, the temperature anomaly of thermal head 65, the blocking of check 4, buffer mistake etc., due in order to prevent mistake, it is necessary to rapid Ground eliminates wrong principal element, or, it is necessary to re-start treatment by eliminating wrong principal element, therefore be urgency high Mistake.
The detecting of disconnected paper, the bad nozzle of ink gun 10 for other roller paper receiving portions 62, cover what is opened etc. Mistake, even if due in statu quo setting, the possibility for causing irreversible mistake is also low, therefore referred to as urgency mistake not high.
In the case where there occurs mistake, media processing apparatus 1 can not be received by the control of wrong detection unit 70a Carry out the order of host computer 5, or be transferred to can not exectorial state (engaged condition or off-line state).Mistake Test section 70a, cause that the line is busy by mistake or off-line state in, monitor whether to eliminate the principal element of mistake, in mistake In the case that principal element is eliminated by mistake, can automatically reset into online.
But, media processing apparatus 1, as noted previously, as each processing unit (MICR first 35, spray can be executed separately Black printer unit 44, surface C IS units 47 and back side CIS unit 48 and thermal head 65) treatment that carries out, therefore for example, The use of the service condition of the printing carried out by inkjet printer unit 44 etc is not all possible.Conversely, work as buying Jie Ink gun 10 is not used completely after matter processing unit 1, using only mono- by MICR first 35, surface C IS units 47 or back side CIS In the case of the read functions that unit 48 is carried out, it is not necessary to use ink to print purposes.
But, media processing apparatus 1 need the maintenance of the nozzle for carrying out ink gun 10.As the maintenance of ink gun 10, lift Go out flushing, scouring and the cleaning for periodically carrying out.Flushing is ejected from the nozzle of all or part of ink gun 10 A small amount of ink, removal makes the increased ink of viscosity because drying, so as to prevent the function of the blocking of nozzle.Scouring be by by Brush device (diagram is omitted) that is opposed with the nozzle face of ink gun 10 and setting is wiped nozzle face, to the meniscus of nozzle The function of being arranged, because brush device clears away ink, therefore can consume a small amount of ink.Cleaning is in covering ink gun 10 Nozzle face cover (not illustrating) in built-in ink aspiration (line) bestow negative pressure, by suctioning out ink from nozzle Water, make on providing ink path of the ink in nozzle and from print cartridge 45 to nozzle flow, so as to carry out spray nozzle clogging elimination and The clean function of providing ink path.These service actions due to using ink as required, even if being set to not perform whole The printing functionality carried out by ink gun 10, it is also necessary to perform these service actions, it is therefore desirable to suitably supplement the ink of print cartridge 45 Water.
Therefore, the media processing apparatus of prior art turn into following compositions:No matter whether user performs is carried out by ink gun Printing functionality, in the case where detecting that print cartridge is emptying or being fitted without print cartridge, wrong detection unit notification mistake.Work as mistake When being reported, media processing apparatus turn into off line, and other functions can not be used.
Therefore, the media processing apparatus 1 of present embodiment turn into following compositions:In the MICR work(carried out by multiple processing units In the middle of the printing functionality of energy, printing functionality, optical reading function and heat sensitive roller paper, including turn into whole functions Effective normal mode and part of functions is set to turn into invalid invalid mode (function invalid mode).In invalid mode, by It is invalid in part of functions is set to, even if therefore receive the order related to the function from master computer 5, also do not perform this Function.In invalid mode, wrong detection unit 70a due to do not detect to as the related mistake of invalid function, therefore not Have the situation for turning into off line to being detected as the related mistake of invalid function.
Although each function that invalid mode can have according to media processing apparatus 1 and set, in this embodiment party In formula, so that the printing functionality carried out by ink gun 10 turns into as a example by invalid printing invalid mode to illustrate.
Fig. 5 is the flow chart of the action for representing media processing apparatus 1, is represented until receiving the place for carrying out host computer 5 Action in the case of reason order untill start to process.
Control unit 70, when receiving from the treatment order that master computer 5 sends (step S21), differentiates received order Whether the print command (step S22) of the execution of printing functionality is indicated for.It is not print command in the order for being received In the case of (step S22:It is no), control unit 70 performs treatment (step S23) according to the order for being received.
On the other hand, (step S22 in the case of being print command in the order for being received:It is), control unit 70 differentiates works as Whether preceding pattern is printing invalid mode (step S24), if not printing invalid mode (step S24;It is no), then turn Step S23 is moved on to, and treatment is performed according to print command.(the step S24 in the case where being printing invalid mode:It is), give up Received order (step S25) is abandoned, terminates this treatment.And, when received order is discarded, can would indicate that and not hold The state notifying of row printing functionality is to master computer 5.
In the printing invalid mode, as following compositions:Even if there is the wrong principal element related to ink gun 10, In the case of the wrong principal element that the wrong principal element is related to printing functionality, wrong detection unit 70a is not also detected Mistake.
Fig. 6 is the flow chart of the action for representing media processing apparatus 1, especially, represents wrong detection unit 70a detection mistakes Action.
Wrong detection unit 70a, via sensor drive driving circuit 75, obtains the detected value or detection shape of each detector State, when find out there occurs wrong principal element when (step S31), differentiate whether current pattern is printing invalid mode (step S32), if not printing invalid mode (step S32:It is no), then based on the wrong principal element found out, detection error There is (step S33) by mistake, mistake is occurred to notify to master computer 5, while being transferred to off line (step S34), terminate at this Reason.Hereafter, when wrong principal element is released and carries out the operation for being restored from off line, presence is reset into.
Additionally, being (step S32 in the case of printing invalid mode in current pattern:It is), wrong detection unit 70a Differentiate whether the wrong principal element for occurring is the wrong principal element (step S35) for being related to printing functionality.Here, it be not (step S35 in the case of the wrong principal element related to printing functionality:It is no), wrong detection unit 70a is transferred to step S33, Detection mistake.In contrast, in the case that the wrong principal element in detection is the wrong principal element related to printing functionality (step S35:It is), wrong detection unit 70a does not detect mistake, terminates this treatment.
So, control unit 70, due in invalid mode is printed, even if receiving the execution for indicating printing functionality Order, does not also perform printing functionality, even if there occurs the wrong principal element related to printing functionality, does not also detect mistake, because This, even if not carrying out the maintenance related to inkjet printer unit 44, will not also turn into off line, can continue to use printing functionality Function in addition.Therefore, it is possible to save the work of the maintenance involved by the function of not using.If not be set to invalid work( Content that can be related, when make a mistake principal element when, due to detection mistake, therefore for not being set to invalid function, energy It is enough to reliably detect mistake by same with common pattern, carry out anti-locking apparatus mistake and the accident such as check 4 is stained.And And, in invalid mode is printed, because inkjet printer unit 44 is not driven, even if therefore do not safeguarded, also will not be into It is the principal element of mistake.
Can be indicated from usual printing mode to print by being sent to the order of media processing apparatus 1 from master computer 5 The switching of brush invalid mode.
Fig. 7 A and 7B are the flow charts of the action for representing media processing apparatus 1, especially, are represented and printing invalid mode Set related action.Fig. 7 A represent the action related to the setting of printing invalid mode when usual, and Fig. 7 B represented and only exist It is determined that in the case of will print invalid mode be set to possibility when action.
As shown in Figure 7 A, the control unit 70, (step when printing invalid mode setting command is received from master computer 5 S41), according to the order, the pattern of media processing apparatus 1 is set as printing invalid mode (step S42).Terminating to print Brush invalid mode and in the case of returning to usual pattern, printing invalid mode setting solution is also sent from master computer 5 Except order, the control unit 70 of media processing apparatus 1 receives printing invalid mode setting and releases order, pattern is switched to logical Normal pattern.
Although however, for rinsing, cleaning and clean, as described above, the maintenance of ink gun 10 is the content that can't do without, But, in the case where print cartridge 45 once is not installed into media processing apparatus 1 yet, without worrying ink dried or viscous Knot, it is not necessary to safeguarded.Therefore, without setting print cartridge 45, even if not carrying out consuming the maintenance of ink, will not also produce and ask Topic.In other words, in invalid mode is printed, although the maintenance of the supplement that can also do not carry out including print cartridge 45 completely, and ignorance The whole wrong principal element related to the printing functionality including the ink that breaks, but, this is once all being fitted without print cartridge 45 In the case of be only it is possible.
Therefore, in media processing apparatus 1, simply in the case where print cartridge 45 is once also fitted without, can by The switching for printing invalid mode is set to possibility.
As shown in Figure 7 B, control unit 70 just monitors print cartridge 45 since the initial plant-grid connection of media processing apparatus 1 Installment state (step S51), (the step S51 when print cartridge 45 is mounted with:It is), printing invalid mode can not be set into mark setting It is ON (opening) (step S52).Printing invalid mode can not set mark and for example be stored in the flicker ROM that control unit 70 has In.(the step S51 during print cartridge 45 is fitted without:It is no), do not carry out the treatment of step S52.It is mounted simultaneously in print cartridge 45 And after step S52 makes printing invalid mode to set mark as ON, the treatment of step S51~S52 is not carried out.
Hereafter, control unit 70, (step S53), reference when printing invalid mode setting command is received from master computer 5 Printing invalid mode can not set the value (step S54) of mark, and the feelings for being masked as OFF (pass) can not be set in printing invalid mode (step S54 under condition:It is no), the pattern of media processing apparatus 1 is set as printing invalid mode (step S55).The opposing party Face, control unit 70, printing invalid mode can not set be masked as ON in the case of (step S54:It is), invalid mode will be printed Setting be can not situation notify to master computer 5 (step S56), by usual pattern as former state, terminate this treatment.Step The action of rapid S53~S56 is performed during the power supply of media processing apparatus 1 turns into ON (opening) with specified period.
And, although in above-mentioned action, in the action shown in Fig. 5, media processing apparatus 1 are set to following compositions: Order to the execution for indicating printing functionality, and the order is discarded, but, the step of Fig. 5 in S22, it is also possible to be set to Following compositions:If the order related to the maintenance of inkjet printer unit 44, then perform according to the order.In the situation Under, when have sent the order related to the maintenance of inkjet printer unit 44 from master computer 5, by carrying out inkjet printing The maintenance of machine unit 44, the state of inkjet printer unit 44 can be remained the state that can be used.
Additionally, the step of Fig. 6 in S35, it is also possible to be set to following compositions:Even the mistake related to printing functionality, Disconnected ink, the capacity excess of the temperature anomaly of ink gun 10, exhausted bath box, the temperature anomaly of thermal head 65, branch also for print cartridge 45 The urgencies such as blocking, the buffer mistake of ticket 4 wrong principal element high, detects mistake.In this case, if due to only notifying Ignore, the such mistake principal element of irreversible mistake of media processing apparatus 1 can be caused, therefore for being set as nothing The function of effect, it is also possible to carry out necessary minimal monitoring.In this case, due to inkjet printer unit 44 In the middle of the related whole wrong principal element of printing functionality, simply the wrong principal element high to urgency, just detects mistake, Therefore compared with usual pattern, the work of the maintenance of inkjet printer unit 44 can be mitigated.Therefore, to not using printing It is useful for the user of function.
And, in invalid mode is printed, in the middle of the function related to inkjet printer unit 44, can be set to limit Functionally and it is able to carry out in related to the maintenance of inkjet printer unit 44.Can be by the maintenance of inkjet printer unit 44 Functional specification be minimal function.Typically for inkjet printer unit 44, include above-mentioned flushing, scouring, The maintenance of cleaning, and for rinsing, during cover (diagram is omitted) departs from from the nozzle face of ink gun 10, by each regulation Time (such as several seconds) is performed.For cleaning, in each printing or when printing is performed with stipulated number every time, It is performed when cover being departed from and starting printing.For cleaning, when each printing time have passed through the stipulated time or each The state that media processing apparatus 1 have accessed power supply is performed when have passed through the stipulated time.Here, for perform flushing, scouring, with And the interval (above-mentioned stipulated time) of cleaning is set by each function in advance, and it is stored in the flicker for constituting control unit 70 In ROM.
Here it is possible to be set to following compositions:To be stored as the interval for performing flushing, clean and clean generally dynamic At least 2 kinds of interval in interval in operation mode and printing invalid mode, mould will be being acted by the action shown in Fig. 7 A When formula is switched to printing invalid mode, switch the interval for performing flushing, clean and clean.According to this composition, There is provided after print cartridge 45, in the case where printing invalid mode is performed, can well keep inkjet printer unit 44 State, and the stand-by time required for the consumption and service action of ink is suppressed to Min. simultaneously, it is and generally dynamic Operation mode compares the burden that can significantly mitigate maintenance.
